Overview:

Working of an AWG may include pumping air to a condensation area,exposing water received by condensation to ultraviolet light to removebacteria and microorganisms, and water filtration by special filtersthat may adjust water minerals content and remove impurities. However,the input air may be contaminated with microorganisms and particulates,which may be passed to a water reservoir of the AWG. Further, the amountof mineral content in the water may be low or inconsistent by time.

Accordingly, to overcome the aforementioned problems, Input air qualitymay need to be maintained. Air quality may be managed by filtering inputair that enters in an area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may belocated, and filtering and sterilizing air that may be pumped into theAWG. In the two stages of air filtration, filters used may not preventhumidity or have any anti-humidity property.

The area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may be located may includefiltered ventilation systems. For instance, Afpro® bag filters orsimilar filters may be used in an air conditioning system or air-flowsystem for the area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may be located.Further, microorganism growth, such as bacterial or fungal may beimpeded and may be made free of particles by use of HEPA air filters,and sterilization of the air with UV lights before the air reaches thecondensation area of the AWG. The type of HEPA air filter, with aparticular flow rate and resistance level, may be chosen on the basis ofthe AWG.

In summary, air may be controlled and filtered in two steps, first asthe enters a room where the AWG may be placed, and second, before theair enters the condensation area in the AWG.

Further, the output air after filtration may be pumped out forrecycling. Further, the air filtration process may have a positiveeffect on one or more water filtration units present in the AWG machine,increasing a life of the water filtration units due to a lack of dust orparticulates entering the AWG.

Further, water filters may be used to control mineral content in watergenerated by the AWG. After water is generated, the water may passthrough 4 stages of filtration, namely pre-carbon, post-carbon, reverseosmosis membrane, and TCR carbon.

Further, water production environment may need to be kept clean and freefrom airborne pathogens, in addition, the product (water) content ofminerals and other chemicals should match standard laws and regulationin a region or country.

Further, chemical and biological tests may be performed from time totime according to rules and regulations to test the quality of thegenerated water. Water quality may need to be consistent each time andmeet required standards. For instance, chemical tests for magnesium,calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate may beperformed.
